Prince, who died at his Paisley Park mansion in Minneapolis on Thursday, was worth an estimated £200million and with no children or wives, it’s thought his younger sibling might inherit his fortune and the rights to his music.

According to Minnesota state law, the estate goes to the deceased’s closest living relative if there is no will in place.

On Thursday Tyka, 55, stepped outside the star’s home to greet supporters and pass on her thanks.

"He loved all of you. Thank you for loving him back," she told the throngs of fans.

She later wrote on Facebook: "Hi, Thank U 4 Loving My Brother! He LOVED Playing His Music & I KNOW He Loved U 2...~ Tyka."
